About us
Crisis is the national charity for homeless people, working side by side with thousands of people each year as they find ways out of homelessness. We know that homelessness is not inevitable; we know that together we can end it.
This year, we will begin our new ten-year strategy to end homelessness. Key to our mission is thinking differently and more ambitiously about how we engage with corporate partners and the commercial sector and how we can generate more support for our cause across England, Scotland, and Wales.
Location: Based in our London office (we are open to a range of flexible working options, in line with Crisis’ Hybrid-Working Policy)
About the role
As we embark on a new ten-year strategy, this is a unique opportunity to lead the development of a radical and ambitious approach to partnerships with businesses, building on the successful partnerships we have with Lloyds Banking Group, Specsavers, Taylor Wimpey, Berkeley Homes and many more.
This pivotal role will lead the development of a corporate and commercial engagement strategy across Crisis, growing and deepening our portfolio of corporate partners, broadening their support for our organisation and our cause, and inspiring them to act within their businesses. The role also involves leading the continued development of our fundraising and partnerships outside of London, creating a national support network to end homelessness.
While the role is directly responsible for strategic and corporate partnerships, the post holder will lead across the charity, ensuring a joined-up approach across retail, service delivery (including Crisis at Christmas), brand partnerships, venture philanthropy, investments, and innovation.
The role also involves membership of the Brand, Marketing & Fundraising senior team and the organisation’s Senior Leadership Group, where it plays an important organisation-wide leadership role. Additional investment has recently been made in the team, and senior leadership and the Board have committed to supporting its success.
About you
We’re seeking someone with significant experience developing relationships with the corporate/commercial sector and a successful track record in organisations comparable in scale and complexity to Crisis. You will be ambitious, with a strong understanding of our challenges and how to make the most of opportunities to create new relationships with partners and think differently about what it means for a business to support a charity and social cause.
We’re looking for someone who…
-
Has cross-organisational leadership skills and the ability to represent the organisation to the corporate/commercial sector externally.
-
Has secured and developed significant corporate partnerships.
-
Has developed and executed organisational income generation strategies, including supporting and influencing areas outside of direct line management responsibility.
-
Can think creatively about partnerships, leveraging the unique opportunities that Crisis has.
-
Can develop a national income and engagement strategy appropriate to our work in English regions, Scotland, and Wales.
We believe diversity is a strength, and we aim to ensure that Crisis truly reflects the communities we serve. We are actively working towards our organisation being a place where everyone can thrive and make their best contribution to our mission of ending homelessness for good. We know that the more perspectives, voices, and experiences we can bring to this work, the better. We particularly welcome applications from people who have lived experience of homelessness, and people from all marginalised groups, communities, and backgrounds.
Working at Crisis
As a member of the team, you will have access to a wide range of employee benefits including:
-
Interest free loans for travel season ticket, cycle to work, and deposit to secure a tenancy.
-
Pension scheme with an employer contribution of 8.5%
-
28 days’ annual leave
-

-
Flexible working around the core hours 10am-4pm

Ensure the programme adapts and evolves to meet the needs identified, remaining accountable to communities affected by conflict.
Monitor against performance indicators to check that the project is delivering as planned. Identify issues and agree action plans to address.

Responsible for producing timely internal and external reports
Lead the MEAL team to produce monthly and bi-annual donor reports on all regional programme activities.
Generate clear, professional and visually attractive reports that explain the impact of our work and the recommendations from our dialogues.
